Stovepipe: Lime and grapefruit nose, hint of lillies. Lime green, fizzy and headless. Sugary sweet lemon-lime, lillies, grapefruit. Light body, easy carbonation. Alcopop and not a good one. Alcoholic hillbillies will eat this cloying stuff up.

Bottle from a variety pack. Thanks, Thomas! Drunk from the bottle, so no appearance score here. Strong vanilla on the nose, with some orange peel, cinnamon, and caramel. Sweet, but surprisingly sharp and spicy. Medium to heavy body, very creamy, with a bit of a grainy, sharp mouthfeel. This is a well done, tasty, and fun beer.

Clear light yellow color with a tiny white head and poor retention. No lacing. Tastes like a super sweet apple pie and crust. Really good but not very beer-like. Alco-pop.

Bottle from Vons, Las Vegas. Pours clear golden, no head. The aroma contains ginger, sugar and spices (mint). It tastes medium to heavy sugary sweet (a bit cloying) and light bitter. Noticeable ginger in the spicy finish. Light body, watery/sticky texture, fizzy carbonation. It’s not terrible and it makes a good quencher on a hot summer’s day, but it has artificial qualities and I’d almost consider it a Cider.

Bottle. Strawberry/rhubarb syrup aroma. Pink - moderate but very short-lasting head. Strong sweet-tart strawberry-rhubarb flavor with a hint of bitter hay flavor. Cloying - almost like drinking snow-cone syrup.
